Answer:

3 tablets are needed for a 53-lb child

Explanation:

1 lb = 0.4536 kg

So, 53 lb = (53\times 0.4536)kg=24 kg

So, weight of the child is 24 kg

For 1 kg body, recommended dosage is 10 mg

Hence, for 24 kg body, recommended dosage is (10\times 24)mg or 240 mg

80 mg of acetaminophen is present in 1 tablet

So, 240 mg acetaminophen is present in \frac{1}{80}\times 240 tablets or 3 tablets.

So, 3 tablets are needed for a 53-lb child

53 pounds divided by 2.2 kilograms to get the converted weight which is 24.09 kilograms. Round this off to 24 kgs. 10 mg/kg multiply this to 24 kg, it would be 240 mg. 240 mg divided by 80 is 3. Therefore, a 53−lb child requires to have a dosage of 3 tablets.

Answer: PCl₃O

Explanation:

1) The chemical formula tells the composition of a compound in terms of the ratio of number of atoms of each element that consitutes such compound.

2) You use the chemical symbol for each kind of atom (element) and subscripts to the right of each symbol to tell the number of atoms of each element.

3) For example, O₂ means two atoms of oxygen. Al₂O₃ means two atoms of aluminum and 3 atoms of oxygen.

4) Therefore, PCl₃O means a ratio 1 : 3 : 1 for phosphorus, chlorine, and oxygen.

Hence, PCl₃O is the chemical formula of your compound.
